Has there always been something you have, secretly or not, always wanted to do? A gift to yourself.
Well I’ve had something that pops into my head every now and again over the years, and I have visualised myself doing it.
Do you want to know what it is? I can picture myself dancing on a stage very gracefully, with no one else around and to my own inner tune. A little like a ballerina except it is not so structured and more movement in line with the music.
We, as women, can so easily put our dreams, wishes or whatever you want to call it, aside and leave them on the back burner somewhere – all alone and forgotten or hidden away. Mine re-connected with me in a big way.
I was fortunate in that I allowed myself to do this in a group I attended. There was some beautiful music playing and we were sitting in a circle with our eyes closed. I was so touched by it, the atmosphere, the others and myself that I arose, took my beautiful scarf and silently moved to the other part of the room.
I stood, twirled, swayed and moved myself and my scarf in time to the rhythm of the music. I opened and closed my eyes when I felt like it. I was in heaven and I was allowing out my grace with ease purely for myself. I was listening to the sound of my own tune. I gave myself a gift from my heart.
I cried and my tears were tears of pure joy as this gift to myself was spontaneous – not planned. I was giving centre stage to what is inside me and allowing it out. Simply allowing my expression of grace out.
I am so, so fortunate that I gave this to myself regardless of any reaction or fears that I might have had. I was in the right place at the right time and I am also pleased to have been part of the space I was in.
I would love to hear from you about your gift to you – whether it is still a secret or not. I won’t tell anyone, I promise. xx
